Finish for alumilite resin?


Recommended Posts

I have been sealing them with CA glue to fill voids then finishing with wipe on poly. I have also completely finished them using CA glue, but I don't prefer to do it that way.

These are made using the instant cast resin without a pressure pot. 

Any of you wood guys have suggestions for other types of finish to put on them?

A friend does high-end pool cues ($ 5k each range) and swears by doing a CA finish on all his work.  Maybe you should re-think that one and instead of change, find better final finishing/application methods.  The cues come out like glass and wear like iron.

You might also check into some of the musical instrument finishes available from Grizzly.  Those tend to be wear resistant and more flexible than the usual home center versions of wood finishes.  I personally haven't tried them.
